i find it sort of doubtfully the piece that was just airing you you see that people in afghanistan at least some people have no awareness of the purpose of this war if anything i think americans and afghans share that the united states population has lost the plot on the afghan war and is mostly opposed to it but the political and media establishment or deciding that this war must grind on in pursuit of some goal that seems a loser you are very elusive. but that's because an interesting statistic could be if you had heard the story had early over ninety percent of the afghan population have no idea what nine eleven is and why the u.s. even launched a war in their home country i mean do you think that people's lack of awareness it plays into the hands of the taliban extremists and why is that the u.s. trying to explain it to them. well i think the united states has made substantial efforts to do sort of conventional propaganda in afghanistan to explain the u.s. occupation in the war there it's not working obviously reaching a lot of people and i think you know we were less worried here
